Seven Taranaki women raped

Seven young women say they have been drugged and raped in Taranaki since last Friday. The spate of attacks has sparked a warning from police and rape crisis centres for women and men to watch their drinks. All had been to pubs or hotels with a group of friends on either Thursday, Friday or Saturday night in Stratford or New Plymouth. The women have no memory of the night's events.
